mtlb_colordef

Matlab colordef emulation function

Description

There is no Scilab equivalent function for Matlab colordef but there are equivalent instructions.

The function h = mtlb_colordef(color_option) or
h = mtlb_colordef(fig,color_option) is used by
mfile2sci to replace colordef(color_option) or
colordef(fig,color_option) when it was not
possible to know what were the inputs while porting Matlab code to Scilab. This function will
determine the correct semantic at run time. If you want to have a
more efficient code it is possible to replace mtlb_colordef calls:

When called with one input parameter, if color_option is equal to "black" or "none"
mtlb_colordef(color_option) may be replaced by fig = gcf();fig.background = -1;

When called with one input parameter, if color_option is equal to "white"
mtlb_colordef(color_option) may be replaced by fig = gcf();fig.background = -2;

When called with two input parameters, if fig is a graphic handle and
color_option is equal to "black" or "none"
mtlb_colordef(color_option) may be replaced by fig.background = -1;

When called with two input parameters, if fig is a graphic handle and
color_option is equal to "white"
mtlb_colordef(color_option) may be replaced by fig.background = -2;

When called with two input parameters, if fig is equal to "new" and
color_option is equal to "black" or "none"
mtlb_colordef(color_option) may be replaced by fig = scf(max(winsid())+1);fig.background = -1;

When called with two input parameters, if fig is equal to "new" and
color_option is equal to "white"
mtlb_colordef(color_option) may be replaced by fig = scf(max(winsid())+1);fig.background = -2;

When called with one output parameter h, just add h = fig; after equivalent instructions.
